First of all, with all that hardware, I'm amazed there was not a platinum 5441! And secondly, can I ask how many people were at this wonderful feast?If you tell me less than 20, I'm going to fall out of my chair. What a selection of watches! Was everyone required to be a WIS to attend?

Hi Larry - there were about 30 and all that was required was an interest in watches - some are more 'WIS' than others, friendship more important.

Dirk

We have a growing number of serious collectors and Dirk as always - being the ever humble chap he is - the resident IWC WIS. :-) But he is right that not all of the collectors are madcap collector of all kinds of horological information. This group manages to keep constantly in touch with each other regularly through the wonders of the internet and the dyed-in-the-blood need to gather regularly to catch up on all things horological. I guess we are fortunate that the island is small and to get a group together is a lot easier than WIS found in other locations.
